How to install the material library in offline mode?

Sometimes, downloading the full material library (3ds Max | C4D) from our servers is unwanted or impossible - for example in case of batch installing Corona Renderer on a render farm. Instead, the material library can be downloaded once, and then distributed along with the installer. Here is how to do it:

1. Download the universal installer - https://corona-renderer.com/download/
   
   
2. Download the material library package:
   • For 3ds Max:
     • For Corona Renderer version 2: https://installer.corona-renderer.com/3dsmax/2/MaterialLibrary
     • For Corona Renderer version 1.7: https://installer.corona-renderer.com/3dsmax/1.7/MaterialLibrary
       
       
   • For C4D:
     • (not available yet)
       
       
       
3. Place the downloaded MaterialLibrary file next to the universal installer (e.g. if the universal installer is located in C:\Downloads, then place the MaterialLibrary file in C:\Downloads as well)
   
   
4. Run the universal installer and proceed with the standard installation
   
   
5. The universal installer will install the MaterialLibrary from the local folder instead of downloading it

The material library installation can be also safely cancelled, or skipped completely - See: How to install Corona Renderer without additional data?
